Maritime blue DB 66005 ‘Maritime Intermodal - One’ passes through York with 6M16, the Wilton to Knowsley. It certainly turned heads when it passed through, the warm weathers not helping the aroma from the containers! 🤢 #Class66 #Shed #DB #York

37428 ‘David Lloyd George’ adorned with its Railfreight Petroleum sectored branding powers along the Highland Mainline. #Class37 #Tractor #RailfreighPetroleum

Northern’s class 150/2 fleet still going strong! 150268 Seen arriving at Leeds on a sunny summer afternoon. Difficult to believe there is now one in preservation! Does this mean they officially heritage units now?! #Class150 #Sprinter #Northern #Leeds

Colas Railfreight liveried 70812 rolls into platform 3 with 6M76, the Redcar to Bradwell up sidings. The TPE class 185 held in platform 5 awaiting the road to clear for Scarborough. #Class70 #ColasRailfreight #York #TPE
